EASTON, Ill. – A three-vehicle accident – two of which were motorcycles – claimed the life of a woman from Pekin.
Illinois State Police say the accident happened at 3:16 p.m. Saturday on Illinois 10 in Mason County. Troopers say a truck being driven by a man from Easton was north on Illinois 10, hauling a trailer, and about to make a left turn when both motorcycles behind him attempted to pass, both striking the truck.
A passenger on one of the motorcycles – Tammy Moore, 52 – was ejected and pronounced dead on the scene. That motorcycle’s driver – Charles Moore, 56 – was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was cited by troopers for Driving Left of Center near an intersection.
The other motorcycle’s driver – Edward Parker, Jr, 70, of Peoria – was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck was unhurt.
